As part of the purchase agreement, however, a restriction was placed on the deed, which read, “This grant is made to the grantee for the use of said premises in perpetuity for recreational purposes only, and the grantor reserves any and all other rights in the property including the right of reversion in the event the grantee abandons such use of the premises.”

In November of 2018, the city contacted the board of U.S. Central and Southern Province, Society of Jesus (formerly Missouri Province Educational Institute), asking that the deed restriction be removed. In early December of 2018, nearly forty-four years (44) after the inception of the deed restriction, the board of U.S. Central and Southern Province, Society of Jesus, adopted a resolution lifting the deed restriction on the golf course land, and later provided a quitclaim deed.​Now, thanks to the generosity of the board of U.S. Central and Southern Province, Society of Jesus, the city can work with the State and consider making changes in the operation of the golf course and/or use of the property.]]>Tue, 18 Dec 2018 17:20:38 GMThttp://www.smks.info/blog/thoughtsI hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it.​To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.
